As if the North Carolina-Michigan State game on the deck of an aircraft carrier wasn't unique enough, both schools will sport special uniforms for the game.

Michigan State will wear Army-like camouflage jerseys, pale green/gray with dark green trim. North Carolina will wear its patented Carolina-blue jerseys but with a pale white camouflage pattern on the bottom half of the tops.

"I haven't seen the jerseys yet," Izzo told the Detroit Free Press. "Supposed to be (camouflage). I just don't know what they look like."

The Spartans' uniforms will look similar to the San Diego Padres wear for home Sunday games. North Carolina's will look far more traditional but with the more subtle adjustments. Both versions hit the internet on Wednesday, Michigan State's via a KTVI-TV picture followed later in the day by UNC releasing a picture of its uniform.

The game will be played on opening night for most college basketball teams, on the USS Carl Vinson in San Diego Harbor. About 7,000 temporary seats will hold the mostly-military crowd.

"Everything we do will add to it," Izzo told the newspaper. "It's a big game, of course, but it's a big event."
